Mass Effect 3

[Brill Weave]

It's fun listening to people try to pronounce it lol. Most people just settle for Badum. Or Badumdum in the case of my old WoW guild.

Event was successful btw

Why does it seem like people who use mics are the worst fucking players?

[Lonely]

N7 Typhoon Assault Rifle
- Damage multiplier when fully ramped up decreased from [2.0x] to [1.5x]

N7 Indra Sniper Rifle
- Damage increased from [62.6-78.2] to [72.6-92.2]

Prothean Particle Beam Assault Rifle
- Damage increased from [17.2-21.4] to [19.2-25.8]

Smash Power
- Base cooldown increased from 5 to 8 seconds

Devastator Mode Power
- Base rate of fire bonus decreased from 15% to 10%

Incinerate Power
- Base damage increased from 300 to 330

Carnage Power
- Base damage increased from 315 to 350

Pull
- Impact damage for all kits with pull is now 100 to match Asari Justicar
- Rank 3 duration bonus increased from 40% to 50%
- Evolve 1 duration bonus increased from 50% to 100%
- Evolve 2 radius bonus increased from 2m to 2.5m
- Evolve 3 lifted damage per second increased from 20 to 75
- Evolve 4 extra damage done to targets increased from 25% to 30%
- Evolve 5 biotic combo damage bonus increased from 50% to 75%
- Evolve 6 recharge bonus increased from 60% to 150%

Gold and Platinum Difficulties
- Enemy shield/barrier damage gates on weapon damage reduced from 100% to 90%, which
means 10% of the remaining weapon damage after impacting shields/barriers will pass
through to health.

Pull is still shit because of Reave stacking on drell/justicar adept, its just not worth specing on them. Incinerate/Carnage/Particle Rifle buff seems too insignificant to even matter, and yay Typhoon nerf before I even got it and the first of the coming nerfs to the only good soldier character.

[Ikarys]

Smash nerf is unfortunate only because no one even plays Phoenix Adept/Vanguard anymore, and N7's will continue to Biotic / Electric slash with impunity for more damage than Smash. Also, real talk... Pull is still, sadly, just not useful enough.

Its does, doesn't it? lol
If i join a gold match and like everyone has mics i usually leave.
PS. got my Com Pack with a N7 Shadow, best job ever, just solo'd silver with it, even easier and faster than a my kroguard.

I thought i was the only one doing that lol

No seriously, it is absolutely contradictory to all common sense that people with mics seem to be terrible

[Krazy]

Got N7 Shadow (only N7 I had, so, meh) and N7 Eagle II from my Victory/Commendation packs. Pretty disappointing.

[Mots]

Got the N7 Shadow and a Crusader. I had the shadow already which drives me crazy. I just want to unlock Slayer. -_-

And I doubt I'll ever use the Crusader.

[Kuya]

I got lucky and i got a new n7. Got the fury. Not sure i'm fond of it though. Dark channel plus throw works pretty good, especially since dark channel bounces off to the next target after one dies, but it feels like a waste to not find a way to use annihilation field properly.

Annihilation field is insane, it preps up nearby targets for Biotic Explosions so you can just walk up to them then throw so they die. The movement speed passive is fantastic too and it can regen your shields for when geth hunter fgts get too close and try to buttrush you. Don't bother detonating the field, its a much better passive power.

I got the Hurricane V <3. This gun with Recoil mod and SMG Armor piercer plus a Ammo mod make all my power based classes happy.

[Kuya]

I fucking hate geth hunters

[Rulke]

N7 adept seems so op. My friend has one and its like he just strolls though the match and enemies die.

As for me, my two packs got me a secondary color for n7 soldier.... ..... but I am now +2 on valiant so I'll take it I guess

Just unlocked Slayer. What's the best build for it? 6/6/6/0/6 like Shadow?

[Ikarys]

Phase disruptor is weak as hell, I guess you could pretty easily ignore it completely and not change playstyle that much.

Also is that... really the best build for Shadow? Does tactical cloak stack with shadow strike?

[Rulke]

Does tactical cloak stack with shadow strike?

iirc, yes.

For Shadow, it's amazing. With Bonus Power on Tactical Cloak, you can fire off two Shadow Strikes in quick succession. Finishes off Phantoms in like 4 seconds. I was toying around with Phase Disruptor on the Slayer, trying to treat it as Nova in a way. It worked really well as it's instant and powerful, but its aiming is really tight, so you couldn't really be carefree as Charge > Nova from the old days.

Phase Disruptor is weird to me, because it has enough range to hit multiple targets, but takes two or three shots to down troopers; I can see the class needing a long-range tool for engagement, but that's why you have a gun, because Slayer needs nothing up front. The range on slash is so good I rarely find myself shooting except to hit targets very far away. I'm losing barrier while exposing myself to being shot at, can't start or finish combos with it, and do about as much damage as a medium grade sniper shot.

I guess I don't get the immediacy of the power; it doesn't feel very instantaneous or powerful. I could see using it to soften up troops before charging, but it feels slow to me and I'm losing barrier at the same time that I'm exposing myself to being shot. I went 3/6/6/5/6, maybe I'll promote and switch it up. I actually like the class (teleport sword melee / wall hack is just awesome and both have saved me a couple times) but it doesn't feel particularly focused in the way that Krogan / Phoenix vanguard are.

[-Zer0-]

I agree. I only got to play it for a few matches on one build, so I'll definitely need to experiment with it a little more. I'm not sure what to make of its melee. I feel like Shadow and Slayer's melee should've been switched. It's definitely useful, but I found myself charging and disrupting more with what I had and only using the sword or Biotic Slash occasionally. Gonna toy around with it later today.

The real beauty behind Slayer was this; doing a Firebase Gold, we got drone escort on wave 10 and flipped spawns. Fighting our way back down into the server room with bunches of hunters on the outside and primes in the doorway; people take cover, drone has nobody and goes dead inside the doorway with two primes sitting on top of it. While the team takes fire... I'm able to biotic charge for barrier, teleport through the wall and behind both primes, then guide the drone out the other side to the objective point by myself. My Origin ID is pzychoanalytic if anyone on PC is looking for some gold / plat runs.
